Abstract

The utilization of underground space in integrated area development, particularly parking basements at Podomoro City Deli Medan, creates juridical consequences regarding land rights and legal relationships between developers, unit owners, and facility users. This study aims to analyze the legal implications of the control and utilization of underground space and to examine the forms of legal protection provided to unit owners and users. The research employed a normative juridical method using statutory and conceptual approaches through library research based on primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results indicate that the utilization of parking basements at Podomoro City Deli Medan does not yet have clear regulations regarding the legal status and limits of underground space control, resulting in differing interpretations between developers and unit users. This condition has led to conflicts in practice, including limited access, differences in facility functions, and commercially oriented management. The legal implications include the potential for breach of contract, unlawful acts, and legal uncertainty in the implementation of parking facility users’ rights. Therefore, stronger regulations and clearer arrangements regarding the status of basements are necessary in order to create legal certainty and balanced protection for all parties.
